Errol Simminson Brown

Today, as we pay tribute to the remarkable life of Mr. Errol Brown, we reflect on the profound impact he had as a father figure and mentor to us all. Errol's presence extended far beyond his own four sons, for he was a guiding light and a father to each and every one of us.

Errol's love and compassion knew no bounds. He not only embraced his immediate family but also extended his care and guidance to all who sought his wisdom. His guidance was provided to both the junior and senior members of the family. As an example, one of Errol’s young grandson, Elijah, after been reprimanded by his father, turn to him and said… Grandpa, expressing discontent, "I don't like my daddy." In response, Errol would gently remind him, "Elijah, you don't have to like your dad, but you have to love him." This simple example shows the profound insights taught by Errol regarding the essence of unconditional love and the importance of cherishing familial bonds, no matter the circumstances.

Born on September 19th, 1948, in Trelawny, Jamaica, Errol was the cherished son of Veronica and Wilfred Brown. He leaves behind a loving wife, four sons, eight grandchildren, and a multitude of nieces and nephews, as well as eight siblings who were fortunate to call him their brother. Errol's unwavering dedication, his unwavering commitment to his family, and his unwavering support of his loved ones will forever be remembered and treasured.

Errol's teachings and his profound love have shaped our family for the better. His wisdom and inspiration continue to resonate in our hearts, urging us to embody the values he instilled within us throughout the years. His faith in the future and his optimistic outlook on life will forever guide our actions and choices.

Moreover, Errol had a profound respect for the written word and instilled in us the practice of reading our Bibles aloud daily. He would patiently correct us whenever we stumbled over biblical names, urging us to try again and reminding us of the importance of connecting with the divine through scripture. Through this simple yet profound act, he taught us the power of faith and the significance of living according to godly principles.

One of Errol's greatest legacies was his unwavering acceptance of others. He created an environment where everyone felt welcomed and embraced, regardless of their background or circumstances. Errol's door was always open, and his compassionate heart was always ready to offer a helping hand or a listening ear to those in need. He exemplified the true meaning of empathy and taught us the importance of extending kindness to all.

Errol's dedication to his family was truly commendable. Even after long hours of work, he would return home late at night and quietly check on his boys as they slept. Although his presence sometimes awakened them, they found solace in the knowledge that their father was home, providing a sense of security and love that only a father can offer. Errol's tireless efforts and selflessness will forever be etched in our memories.

In conclusion, today we bid farewell to a remarkable man who touched the lives of so many. Errol Brown's legacy will live on through the countless lives he impacted, the values he instilled, and the love he shared. As we navigate our own paths, let us carry his teachings and his profound love within us. Although he may no longer be physically present, his spirit will continue to guide us, reminding us to embrace unconditional love, foster strong family bonds, and extend kindness to all.

Errol, may your soul find eternal rest. Thank you for being a father to all, a beacon of love and compassion, and a shining example of the power of family.
